Year-round testing

Registration

Registration for the computer-based FE exam opened on November 4, 2013, and will be
open year-round. You will register and schedule your appointment through your My NCEES
account on the NCEES website. You will first select your exam location, and then you will be presented with a
list of available exam dates for your appointment. If you are not happy with the choices,
you can browse through the available dates at another NCEES-approved testing center.

Where will I take my Exam

NCEES has partnered with Pearson VUE to provide computer-based delivery of the FE and FS exams. These exams are available
through Pearson's network of professional centers and select locations. You can find
more information about the exam scheduling process in the NCEES Examinee Guide.

FE Reference Handbook

The all-new FE Reference Handbook is now available for purchase and free download. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the new version prior to taking the
exam.

7 Freestanding discipline-specific exams

The content of the exam is changing significantly. Instead of a common morning portion
and a discipline-specific afternoon portion, examinees will now take one of seven
individual exams that include content from only the areas that are common to that
discipline's curriculum. For example, all examinees will be tested on mathematics,
but electrical engineering students will be excited to learn that they will no longer
be tested on dynamics. Each exam will consist of 110 questions, and students will
have a total of 5 hours and 20 minutes to complete them. The 7 FE exams available
are:

Chemical

Civil

Electrical & Computer

Environmental

Industrial

Mechanical

Other Disciplines

NCEES Examinee Guide

A comprehensive guide is available for download on the NCEES website. During the registration process,
all examinees will be required to attest that they have read it and agree to comply
with the rules and policies set forth in it.

The guide includes detailed information on how to register and schedule an exam, how
and when examinees will receive their results (hint–it's much faster!), what they
are allowed to take into the test center, copies of the NCEES CBT Exam Rules and Nondisclosure
Agreement, and much more. Encourage your students to read the guide and familiarize
themselves with it prior to registering for the exam.
